Sierra's 150- and 170-grain jacketed bullets for .30-30 are usually identified as such in catalog lists of Sierra bullets. They are excellent bullets. Hornady and Speer 170-grainers also do well. You can use the newer Hornady FTX plastic-tipped 160-grain bullets also, with any powder of .30-30 application, but you will need to use their LEVERevolution powder to reap the velocity benefits that Hornady says is possible for these bullets.
